Hello everyone! Happy Friday!
I'm another newbie member but have been lurking for months just reading other posts.
I wouldn't say I have a phobia of the dentists, my phobia is actually Emetophobia (I'm a full time member on their forum!!). However Emet has caused me to completely abandon the dentist years ago. I'm deathly afraid something will make me throw up - the anaesthetic, the pain, the panic attacks. I just decided to steer clear entirely.
My Emet has also had me addicted to extra strong mints for years (they used to help my stomach when I was particularly anxious, but now I'm just full blown addicted to sugar.) So the sheer volume of mints has finally taken an effect on my teeth. I noticed a little bit of decaying on my top right canine about a year ago, but it was so tiny I forgot about it. Well - now it's taken half of the tooth and is slowly spreading to my front teeth.
My very back (possibly wisdom?) right tooth is also heavily decayed and is currently feeling a bit sensitive and wobbly. I spit blood when I brush and have trouble eating on the decaying side of my mouth..
I have no idea what to expect if I go into a dentist, my mind is telling me they'll have to pull the whole right side of my mouth out! I'm a mess every time I think about going in, but whenever I see photos of me smiling, I tell myself that I need to sort it out. It's beyond embarrassing now
Anyone have any ideas about what the dentist might suggest when he see's my train wreck of a mouth?!
